We're situated close to both Trams and Trains for transport ease. We are also situated directly on the Dandenong-Airport Shuttle Bus, so getting from and to the Airport is a Breeze. Pre-Bookings for the bus are required either on their website or via phone.

First of all - we're about service and a smile. We're a quirky, boutique garden-setting hotel that offers a full range of services including many that are free. Our hotel is nestled in established landscaped gardens and we offer a quiet, secluded "comfortable home away from home", and our team are always willing and ready to assist you with whatever needs you may have during your stay.

guest reviews

"Kimberley Gardens is nestled in the conveniently located neighborhood of St. Kilda. Very nice (and quiet) place to return to after a day's outing in Melbourne. Warren, at the front desk, was very helpful with offering us suggestions about dining and must-see spots"

"I regularly stay in melb for my sons orthodontic appointments. We stumbled across this motel. Wow. What a find. No add on for this, more dollars for that. Clean spacious rooms and the most amazingly friendly and helpful guys on reception. Thanks Warren and Greg. Even my fifteen year old commented that you don’t see customer service like that anymore. Kudos to you. I’ll be back for sure."

We arrived early (9.30 am) and they let us check in. There was a little garden which you saw from the window, and a chair to sit outside and enjoy it. It was Mother's day when we checked out, and not only was there complimentary champagne, orange juice and chocolates to celebrate, we got a gift on boxed toiletries and a generous box of chocolates. We had some difficulty with the TV remote, and the receptionist took a lot of trouble to fix it on Saturday night. I love the board games and the break out areas which make it seem more like a guest house than a standard hotel. The pool is lovely, beds are comfy, rooms large (we got an upgrade to a spa room). What's not to like

Good hotel with very nice staff. Maxi was most helpful with my airline lost property query. Rooms clean and comfy beds,lovely pool and spa. Only downside was our ground floor room terrace doors/windows table and chairs were rather dirty with spider webs all over them. Can’t comment on the food as we were room only. Would stay there again.

There is no better way to explore Melbourne in Summer than by Tram or Bicycle, and we're a short 5-minute walk to the nearest Tram stop. From there you can explore any of Melbourne's wonders (and there are many). take a look at our new Experiences webpage for more.

We also offer our guests FREE bicycles to ride around and explore the local sights. Our brand new retro-style bicycles come with a Helmet and a water bottle should you want one. So it's easy to enjoy the local sights and sounds of St Kilda. Alternatively, if relaxing is more your cup of tea, our indoor heated pool and adjoining spa are usually a huge hit all year round.

Our small, but amply appointed gymnasium is great for a quick workout before plunging into the pool.
